Help Us Avoid The Ethanol Disaster

By: GARKO

Whether or not you believe in global warming everyone agrees that the environment should be protected. And this article tells you where the solutions are… and aren’t! . Biofuel, as you probably know or can guess from the name, is any energy source derived from living organisms of any kind. The most common biofuel is a blend of gasoline called E85, which means it's 15% gasoline and 85% ethanol. But the actual ratio is subject to change due to the outside temperatrue and it might be better named E70-85. During cold weather, more gasoline needs to be added to the mixture to ensure the fuel works properly, so E85 is at least 70% ethanol.
The fact that E85 needs 15-30% gasoline in the mixture is not the major problem, that factor is really not such a big deal. If everyone was using E85 and the use of gasoline got cut by 70% that would be a tremendous advantage. .
The real problems with Ethanol follow… Biofuels such as E85 are causing food shortages globally. The problems are rather fascinating Most ethanol is derived from corn. Corn therefore has huge demand. Therefore farmers are growing more corn than wheat and soy. So now instead of having not enough corn you have not enough corn, soy and wheat… it gets worse As a result of that situation you end up with three new sets of problems: lack of land on which to grow corn and other staples, soaring food prices and, yes, potential starvation of the poor.
If you eat anything, you're not immune to the skyrocketing food prices. You know that the price of food has increased partially due to the increase in the price of diesel which is used in the trucks that transport it, right? In the same fashion, the price of corn has jumped significantly - around 30% already this year – all because of the demand for biofuels. Isn't it the poor that our friends on the environmentally-friendly left always want to help by taking our hard-earned tax dollars and redistributing them to the needy? The biofuel solution, pushed hard by the same folks is hurting the poor, hungry, underprivileged people of the world the most.
With food prices causing the poor to become even more destitute, you can count on more tax dollars being pulled from your paycheck to cover the cost. Wow! It is almost as if it was all designed that way with malice aforethought by the rich and the elite.
By 2030, the world population is expected to shoot up to such a high level that a fifty percent increase in food production will be needed. In 70 years based on current projections, it would have to double. But the rush to biofuels - supposedly good for the environment - translates in reality to a reapportionment of fertile land to growing food for energy purposes.
The rise in demand has been reflected by the significant increase in the prices of fundamental commodities, especially wheat, over the past two years.
Biofuels have been put forward as a solution for reducing the toxic gas emissions released by fossil fuels however recent research have questioned their impact when all elements of the equation, for instance the use of fertilizers on the crops, areconsidered. Critics have been upset by the loss of tropical rainforests, which have been cleared to allow farms to grow biofuel crops.
Laying waste to forest landDeforestation has been calculated to account for about 18% of the planet's greenhouse gas emissions and many environmentalists consider the idea of wiping out forest land for the purposes of growing crops for biofuel to be profoundly stupid.
With ethanol costing about the same as gasoline, there are two possible scenarios ahead of us. If those of us that are educated about ethanol choose not to buy the product because of the side-effects, maybe the decreased demand will help food prices to drop.
Unfortunately, ethanol is a government-subsidized product and they can pump more dollars into lowering the price further, which will spark interest in the new fuel and increase demand. It's a no-win situation for the informed consumer. Our only hope is that global warming is truly found to be a hoax so we can go back living normal lives without fear of potentially starving our neighbors every time we fill up. Unless there is a third alternative.
So here is the real solution!
WATER4GAS is offering information at a low price which individuals can use at home to create a small device which infuses hydrogen into the gasoline/air mixture that their car runs on.
The process makes bite sized particles out of the ones that the system burns as fuel. Because of the smaller size the engine gets to use much more of it.
By doing this you can minimumly expect to reduce your gasoline consumption by thirty to fifty percent or significantly more. Those particles "musta" been pretty darn huge in some systems before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can reduce your gasoline consumption.
It also helps to lower emissions significantly.
This information has been purchased by over NINE THOUSAND individuals already and the percentage of happy customers is about 99%! So how about you?
